Hey Karl,
I'm 62 and have trained a lot of guys as a machinist, hydraulics specialist, and in electrical troubleshooting.
You are an excellent instructor! You are concise and relaxed. You teach as someone who is eager to freely pass on what you have learned, with no ego involved.
I've never done this kind of metalworking, but believe I could with practice and the knowledge you freely share.
Your personality and attitude are what make this channel great.
Thank you!
I’m only 11 minutes in and I’ve learned so much! 🤜🏼🤛🏼🇦🇺🍀😎
Thank you so much
I love that you showed us several ways to skin the cat, and why you may consider each method. Thanks Karl!
I`m 54 year old av working as a fabricator daily, and learning more skills everytime I see yours videos. Thank You so mutch to be so exelent instructor of easy simple stuff and how to doing it, keep going on all of this videos.
10:45 MAGIC!!! Somebody PLEASE get this guy a Cape and a Top Hat.
I think you explain metal shaping the best way on the internet. I have learned so much! Thank you Karl
I learned the basics of this in metal work shop at school but you explain it better
Thanks TEACH!!!! IVE LEARNED A FEW MORE TOOLS FOR MY SHELF OF GOODIES I KNOW!!!👍❤️🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I wouldn't advise putting this on a shelf…
@@Iowa599 😁maybe your right, a little lower might be safer🤣🤣
Absolutely appreciate the time you take to explain the whys and wherefore's of your craft. Great info.
your style of teaching is brilliant, we have a master at work who can't teach no matter what he tries, shame that a lifelong learning will die with him.
I will never tell you you are an idiot. I love these videos with hand tools and tools to make. Thanks for another great video!!
Hey Karl
Very Tucking Entertaining ! 😂
It’s 1-0 0 am couldn’t sleep ! Lucky for me
You just posted this one . For us guys it’s just ABC !
But you made it so informative and a delight to watch !
Inspiring would be metal shapers ! 👍
Great job Buddy !

if you want to keep your wooden hammer handles tight in the hesa, drill a .025 hole 2 inches deep in the middle of toe bottom of the handle and fill the hole with #10 oil, stand the hammer upside down for the night and it will start to tighten up in a day or so
From making wire forms to shaping, I've learned so much from you. What a great channel. Thanks!
Great class. Watching your videos has been motivating.
Absolutely the best tutorials I've seen. I Know that by now I've watched literally thousands of them covering a multitude of subjects. If there is one thing missing in so many of the trades it's engaging instructors. There are many talented Craftsman out there but very few are excellent teachers. Thanks for your time and sharing your passion with us. I guarantee your helping many more people become better at there work than you think!!!
I would probably get a lot more done in the shop if I could just stop watching your videos. Everything you do, you do so well, thank you for the videos
Same here,i go down my workshop with all good intentions of getting stuff done,then put make it kustom on for "half hour",which usually ends up being all evening.
Great video. I love when you work primarily with hand tools since I don’t have the room or the money for any of the bigger machines. Maybe in a future video you could go through applying the shrinking techniques from today on some body panel shapes. Several times I’ve run into rounded pieces that have a bowl shaped end. I’ve been cutting slits, trying to shape it as best as I can and welding up the slits. Ok for a floor pan but not very nice for anything that is seen. Would love to see how to do that with the techniques you showed today.
Thats how i did it for years. Duct tape to make a pattern, cut it to lay flat then cut panel to match. Close the slits and weld up.
I'm watching these videos to attempt to replace the lower quarter panels on our rusty Miata. The repair panels available are about $240...EACH!
Try watching Carter Auto Restying
I love the techniques that you show and you give such amazing demonstrations with each of your video's i only wish I'd have met someone like yourself when i were a younger man at 61 yrs young i still hunger for the knowledge of everything creative in the automotive and motorcyxle world . Keep em coming your craft is one of great importance for the youth of today to continue to create great things.
Thanks so much man I appreciate ya!
I like when you use the 'simple' tools, Thanks
I made a shrinking stump the old school way, with a cookie out of a hardwood stump, using the same grinding tool. It was brutal. I ended up using another grinding tool that is basically a disc chainsaw that goes on your grinder. It cut much faster but was rough, then I finished it off with the grinding tool you used. That said, I like your use of softwood instead. It seems to hold up better than I thought it would so no need to chase down some hardwood.
Cool as hell seeing an actual professional showing his experience, science, and art.
Your videos are great and they’ve helped give me the confidence to do my own work rebuilding my first car - a 1964 tripower GTO. However, every shrinking video I’ve seen just makes bowls. But there are no bowls on my car. I’d love to see you make a rectangular panel with compound curves where it’s a slight curve in one direction and a tighter curve in the other direction - without an English wheel. Think patch panel on a wheel well. Or maybe that also requires some stretching?
🏁🇦🇺I love how Karl promotes keeping a look out for scoring scrap and swapmeets. Look he has a full functional fabshop now. I would encourage the camera man to ask more Newby questions on behalf of your audience, sorry I don't know how to spell your name. Karl is on a Teaching Journey we are fortunate to be his Students.

@@davidhinds7634 sorry Dave,its Dave & Claire from DLRA.
@@RGVJ21 Hey Ace I meet Karl in Sydney for a Sheet Metal master class @Motorretro Caught up with Bones while I was there that's where he built the bodywork for his Sit on streamliner,
This is my favorite channel hands down. Great instruction! Look forward to meeting you sometime sir.
All of your videos have been really good, but this one really helped pull some of your other tuck shrinking videos together. Gotta get me one of those "Mother Tucker" hammers...
So pleased I found your channel. I have just started to do large scale metal forming (I made jewellery previously)& have learnt more from watching just 2 videos than in the previous few months. Thank you so much, you explain everything so well, I am inspired.
Nice work sir.
I only know three Canadians. You, Fitzee and my buddy Douglas from work. You're all great folks. Keep up the good work.
Very well explained. Very helpful too. Being on a budget you have shown several ways to achieve the same result. Im sure one may suit the job at hand better than the others as well. And lets not forget Elio for his camera work.
just subscribed as I just saw you over helping Brent on Half ass kustoms. I will be watching more of your videos. Just wanted to thank you for being such a friend to Brent. Not too many people have the skills you (and Brent) have. Like I said on his channel, you are such a ham. Keep pounding the metal and everything will be mint.
Carl I have just had a thought that you are the master the King of metal forming what talent love watching learn loads keep it up buddy
Well,,, I thought I knew a little something about tucking, and I was right, it was a LITTLE something. Thanks again for enlightening me. JD
Fantastic video! thanks for the tips! I love how you make everything so simple to understand for us regular guys :)
Well, you did it again. You showed how to make Stump anvil out of 6 x 6 wood. So I made mine out of oak 2 x 6. You showed how use a Makita js1602 metal shear . So I bought one. I just cut a 6 inch hole in a range hood piece. Cut like butter. Thx
Hey, id...ehh, Karl! You really made this simple to understand! Thanks for the great video! 🤩
Nice video, we’ll explained Karl, just enough info to get someone started and everyone takes off from there. Thanks .
I love how you take time to show how things work I have learned a lot from your videos thank keep it up I am a big fan of your channel love It I am learning black smithing to the both go hand to hand
So cool how you can do all this stuff I've never seen anyone else do. I'd like to see more on welding. If you had a class, I think that would be cool.
He has few videos on welding sheet metal, both Tig and mig.
@@nathanmanners7862 They are really good too. Lots of useful info.
Quickly becoming a favorite youtube content creator
Another source for good steel to make dollies is overload springs from old trucks. In my area people give them away when they put lift kits on
Your channel has introduced so many interesting and amazing metal shaping concepts to me that I never knew about. It has been really interesting to watch you and your mastery of the work is evident with every blow of the mallet or hammer! Great content thanks!
I’ve got to agree, Karl answers those questions you didn’t even know needed asking!
Videos with simple tools are very pleasant to watch because it gives you the feeling that you can do it too. A bit misleading imho, "simple tools" require often much more skills and experience.
Great video reminds me of methods we used in jr high to hammer out a copper ash trey along with metalworking sandbag.
Dude you are so far from idiot it's insane. I learn so damn much from watching your videos. You are incredibly knowledgeable as many guys are but you are a natural at teaching which most of those others with your knowledge are not. You also realize and honor that most of us cannot buy expensive tools so you teach us affordable ways to make shit happen. You are a treasure Karl.
Thanks so much, Tom!! I do love learning more, and using more simple techniques, especially when they are relatively effective!
You’re ability to break down things and explain the how and why is the excellent. Keep up the great videos and thank you.
Thanks for the indepth explanation using different techniques!
Could do a kit with two nylon pieces so the stump can be flipped with different shape/size bowl on each side. Save the need for two stumps. Would just need to be careful to leave enough surface around bowl for support.
Always informative
Great explanation on the ways to shrink sheet metal! Great video!
I like to see People working with hand held tools. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙂
Could you measure the thickness of the metal that was shrinked and the metal that wasn’t? Just out of curiosity, would be interesting to know.
Thanx for spending your time teaching us Karl. Your a legend.
Nice one Sir!!!! I just made a tucking hammer, shrinking stump, and forged a tucking fork over on my channel. (Inspired by you and a few other channels I watch) Going from the stump to the wheel is quite a workout if you aren't used to using those muscle groups. I was binge watching some of Wray's videos and he had one of the large bowls covered in EPDM. Then the click happened on the importance of locking in those edges. Anyway, keep on rocking them out. Loving the content.
Truly an artist.
Your logo and brand is reflective of your abilities. Truly Next level. Thank you for sharring all that you do!
Great instructional video! Learned a lot thank you.
You're the man Karl. What a talent. Teaching and forming.
Learning so much from watching you. Just beginning to shape and fabricate. Keep up the terrific work.
You have a way of explaining yourself that people can relate to...which makes it easy to learn...
In other words you are a great teacher...
Great Video. Your demonstration confirmed my needing one and to purchase of a set from you.
Great work I glad to see someone who understands the old ways and how simple the tools are and your enthusiasm is a very positive. I'm retired now and I've been a fabrication guy for a lot of years. I liked learning about shaping metal myself so thanks a lot😊
Mind blown! Hey Thanks Carl!
At the class with @sosametalworks I noticed that I got the fastest, deepest shrinks with the stump. The power hammer takes more shrinks but that makes it more precise about where the metal goes.
Hey Karl, i had a stroke April 2014, and it seems like I've been watching you for more than 2 years (what your video archives go back to), have I been watching your videos before this, and how can i access them??? i want to watch all of your videos many times... wonderful videos... "continuing education", instead of regular TV!!!
What a terrificly useful video Karl, you really are a superb purveyor of great ideas!
great content Karl, thank you from England
I made the tucking fork you showed a few months ago.
Bought a cheap set of nail punches $5 at Bunnings in busselton WA.
Welded to two largest together and added some rod for a handle.
My first go was on my mini replacement floor panel, which had
a heap of warping.
Amazing results in no time.
Thanks for the lesson.
Every day is a school day-GW thanks
You are awsome
I'd love to see you create a spotlight or old timey headlight bucket this way. that'd be just cooler than liquid helium to watch being done.
Love your work. Thank you for all the instruction and knowledge you share. I really appreciate the combination of videos you put on the channel. Nice variety and tons of info!
Look forward to when I have free time and my stump formed. Looks satisfying and adds to one’s capabilities. Thanks!!!!
Thanks for a great easy viewing video. I'm new to your channel and have little metal shaping experiance. I look forward to learning from you. Good on ya mate. Excellent work.
Thank you for the great video, great easy explanation!
Hi Karl.
I allways like your video's.
Explaning it the idiot way i understand😂😂.
Keep up the good work man.
Greets from the Netherlands/ Germany. 🤙
Thanks for taking the time and effort to demonstrate these methods. True craftsman/artist!!!!
Very informative, as usual, Karl. I find I can learn how to do things by watching. [And I'll keep watching
as long as you keep showing us your techniques.]
I made a stump based on your previous video and was waiting for you to do this tutorial. Thanks!
"this disc will make you as many bowls as you need to make" - I'm not falling for that trick again mr magic man
Very motivating and accessible skills. Now I gotta get busy making my own shrinking stump.
Great tech session!
Just thank you 😊
Thanks Karl. You're a great teacher mate. Billy J..... Queensland, Australia..
Awesome teachng session. Thanks for getting more of the mother tucker hammers in. Mine is on it's way.
Cheers
Really tucking cool.
Thanks for sharing. The best of this technique is that you don't need power tools. Except for cutting around the 1/8 material.
Karl love watching your videos no matter what you may be making or working. Always learning from them and great information. Nice job explaining it in your videos Karl. Can't wait to see more videos soon. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab On. Weld On. Keep Making. God Bless.
Informative and cheap - the best combination
excellent content as usual, and information you can trust!
Brilliant video mate. 👍👍👍
Hey Karl. Thanks for sharing that was very kool. What guage sheet metal where you using?
Nice tutorial love these videos
It's another very informative video. Thanks, I might have to beat on some metal.
That's some valuable Shrinking and thinking, next video maybe a repair panel section on a lower Fender , or Single headlamp end like on an old 50's Car or truck? Just plain examples and other "Shrinking" usages that help in fabrication of other items. Like the Tucking hammer and Stump apparatus as well....thanks Karl 👍
great work , would of like to see you finish them off
10:02 It seems like one of the metal straps holding the wood together could use a loop to hold the hammer.
Hi Carl, great vids.
The stump could be double ended and flipped to have one or two more shapes.
Keith
As always, pretty entertaining video. Man! I wish you would put together a video on how to build the floor pan of a car. I haven't find a single video that exemplifies the things to consider and tricks for the fabrication of those pieces. You are not only skilled, but pretty good at teaching. I am pretty sure you would help lots of people around there trying to get rotten floor pans replaced in their cars, me included.
My favorite channel, thank you
Hey Karl
That video is so very much appreciated !
I had no idea how easy it actually is to shrink, if you have some basic knowledge of what the metal is going to do.
And the simple tools needed to make it happen are so easy to build or acquire.
I have a large project in my mind that I want to attempt.
Now I have further knowledge of how to do some of it.
Thank so very much !
Stay Safe, Be Well
Enjoy Life
